cranK up the distillery For our second liMoncello sMacKdown!

“When life hands you lemons, make some limoncello”

Making your own limoncello is as popular an Italian tradition as making your own pasta sauce ~ and, like sauce, everyone has their own limoncello recipe which has been tweaked and perfected through the years… and which everyone tells you is the best!

Well, now’s the time to crank up your home distillery and make your home-brew for our Second Annual Limoncello Smackdown! We’ve already sampled many of your products, and they are all wonderful, but after Cena on Friday, February 7, we’ll have a competition to determine who has the best limoncello. In the interest of providing a level playing field for the tasting, we ask that all entrants be clear lemon-based liqueurs (no cremas/creams or orange, mango, etc. ~ we’ll save those for another contest!).

Also, please be sure to provide a generous sized bottle (no airline mini-bottles!) so that as many people as possible, in addition to the judges, can sample your handiwork. And, out of respect for family tradition, all secret recipes will remain just that ~ secret.

What will you win, should your limoncello be judged the best? The accolades of your ICD friends, the right to say your liqueur is the best, and the title of King or Queen Lemonhead. What more could you want?

cheF Gina stipo returns to the icdThe ICD welcomes Chef Gina Stipo back. Gina will cooking Cena for the month of January while she is visiting the US. Gina Stipo is an Italian American chef who for the past 14 years has lived, worked and studied Italian cuisine from her perch on the Montagnola hills just south of Siena in Tuscany. As the owner of Ecco La Cucina, she teaches cooking classes and holds wine education and culinary tours for international visitors to the area. Gina loves to share her passion for Italian food and wine and in addition to teaching, writes a blog about food and her experiences in Italy under the title “At the Italian Table”.

Each winter, Gina visits the United States to lead workshops on Italian cuisine and teach classes at culinary schools, universities and private homes. Gina visits Dallas each year and has taught at both Central Market and Market Street United cooking schools. She has often been the guest chef at the Italian Club of Dallas and has conducted several olive oil and balsamic vinegar tastings there.

Growing up in an Italian-American family on the east coast, Gina was immersed in the southern Italian dishes that reflected the family heritage. Working in the family garden, she developed a strong respect for ingredients. Years spent as a child in Verona in northern Italy only strengthened her desire to learn more about the regional differences that make up the complex country of Italy.

Gina’s cuisine focuses on the simplicity and seasonality of the Italian table. Living in Italy fulltime for many years gave her the opportunity to visit the many regions that make up the country, working with both professional chefs and home cooks to learn the regional differences and traditions that comprise the world-renowned cuisine of Italy.

After classical training at the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) in New York City in 1997-98, Gina worked with Odette Fada at San Domenico restaurant in New York before moving to Atlanta to gain additional restaurant experience, working at both Veni Vedi Veci and Babette’s Cafe. In 2000 she moved to Tuscany to work on the agricultural estate of Spannocchia, managing their kitchen and developing their current culinary program, teaching Tuscan cuisine to their guests and writing the estate cookbook. Gina opened her own school in 2001 Ecco La Cucina, which means “here’s the kitchen.” She authored the cookbook “Ecco La Cucina”, a collection of traditional recipes from the Siena area.

We are delighted to have Gina in our kitchen for Month of January.

president’s letter

By the time that you receive this month’s Cicerone, we will have said goodbye to our Chef of five years, Tomasso. We are sorry to see Tomasso go but we wish him well in his new endeavor. We appreciate the contribution he has made to the culinary facet of the ICD and hope he returns to visit often. But for now, we will move forward with the help of his Sous Chef Orlando and Maria in delivering outstanding meals. At the same time, we will be interviewing for a new Chef to continue our fine traditions.

But, as we move forward, it is important to note that we are more than a restaurant. With our cultural activities of lectures, dance and language lessons, book club, and more, we are focused on the Italian and Italian-American cultures and building friendships around those activities.

Just remember, we are more than a restaurant and there are many facets of the ICD that as a member you can take advantage of.

See you at the Club !!

tour oF dallas’s MuseuM oF biblical arts

The Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex is home to a significant amount of great art and architecture and one of our most undiscovered treasures is the Museum of Biblical Art (www.biblicalarts.org). Established over 50 years ago, no other biblical art museum of its size exists in the United States, making it a treasure trove for art enthusiasts. In 2005, a devastating fire destroyed the museum and its contents including 2,500 works of art and all of the popular Judeo-Christian displays and galleries. After careful consideration, the Board of Directors made the choice to re-build and make the new museum bigger and better in every way! Diverse types of art are exhibited including bronze sculpture installations, drawings, fine prints, and oil paintings. Specialized galleries havebeencreatedforBiblicalArchaeology,ReligiousArchitecture,European Art, and much more.

Of particular interest to Italian Club visitors would be works including those by the School of Alessandro Botticelli (c. 1483), a Veronese drawing, and a most unique collection of bronze castings ~ the museum hasrecentlyacquiredlife-sizereplicasofMichelangelo’sPietàandmore,cast in bronze, authorized by the Vatican, and brought directly from the Michelangelo Museum—Fondazione Casa Buonarroti in Firenze, Italia. TheextraordinaryPietàbronzewascastbyFerdinandoMarinelli,Sr.who has cast monumental sculptures all over the world. Working many years for the Vatican, Ferdinando had the opportunity to create negative moldsonnearlyeveryimportantoriginalclassicalandRenaissancesculpture, particularly Michelangelo’s masterpieces. The Artistic Foundry in Florence created the bronze replica using the same traditional lost wax castingtechniquethatwasusedbyRomansandbyfamousartistsoftheRenaissance.AllthedetailsareexacttotheoriginalPietà~includingMichelangelo’s signature on the Madonna’s sash. You’ll just have to see it to believe it!

And you’ll be able to see all these works and more when ICD Members and guests take a tour of the Museum of Biblical Arts on Saturday, February 1, at 10 a.m. A docent will guide us through the exhibits, focusing on the Italian works, and afterward we’ll go to lunch to discuss all the wonderful art we’ve seen in this Dallas gem. Cost for the museum tour is $10 for ICD Members, $9 for ICD Seniors, $12 forICDGuests,and$9forGuestSeniors.RSVPattheClubhouse,at(972) 931-9167, or online at http://icdbiblicalartstour2014.eventbrite.com.PleasecontactMaryAnnWebsteratculture@italianclubdallas.org with any questions.

The fire was devastating, but the Museum of Biblical Arts came back bigger and better than ever. Discover the treasure on February 1st!

Due to Lisa Newman’s efforts twenty- five angels were chosen by fifteen ICD members and ten friends from our virtual Salvation Army Christmas Angel Tree. Lisa successfully solicited Club members and others to participate in the Angel Tree selections, collected the gifts and delivered them to the Salvation Army. Talk about Christmas spirit, Lisa certainly has it. Many thanks to the Angel Tree donors for making Christmas just a little bit brighter for some needy individuals.

And to Lisa, thank you for all your hard work, energy and dedication in extending our charitable outreach. You are so greatly appreciated.

For the first time in twenty-seven years the Children’s Craniofacial Association’s Children’s Christmas party was not held.

January booK club news

Welcome back to the Book Club on January 30, 2014 at 7 p.m. at the Club, when our selected work will be Thunderstruck by Erik Larson. Described by the Los Angeles Times as a “ripping yarn of murder and invention”, Larson’s tale describes a two-pronged race proceeding on parallel tracks. On one track, Guglielmo Marconi races to develop wireless communications as a commercial venture in advance of competing inventors and investor groups.Onthesecond,Dr.HawleyCrippen flees London with his lover after murdering his wife. Thinking to escape the reach of Scotland Yard

by taking a transatlantic ship to Canada, Crippen finds his plot foiled by Marconi’s marvelous new invention, which allows Scotland Yard to communicate wirelessly with Canadian authorities and the ship’s captain to bring about Crippen’s arrest.

who exactly was spartacus?You may know him as depicted by iconic actor Kirk Douglas in the Stanley Kubrick film, or by heart throb Goran Visjnic in the 2004 mini-series, or by Andy Whitfield in the popular series on Starz ~ clearly, Spartacus is an intriguing and popular character in film and literature! But in truth there is very little known about the real Spartacus.

We know that Spartacus, born around 109 BC, was a Thracian gladiator who was one of the slave leaders in the Third Servile War, a major slaveuprisingagainsttheRomanRepublic.LittleisknownaboutSpartacus beyond the events of the war, and surviving historical accounts are sometimes contradictory. All sources do agree that he was a former gladiator and an accomplished military leader. The rebellion, interpreted by many as an example of oppressed people fighting for their freedom against a slave-owning oligarchy, has been an inspiration to many political thinkers, and has been featured in literature, television and film.

Come to the Italian Club of Dallas on Wednesday, January 22 to fill in some of the blanks in the heroic biography when Lloyd Chappell, ardent studentofallthingsRomanandarepeatpresenterattheICD,presents“Spartacus”. In addition to fascinating information about a personage whose name is well-known but whose history is not, you’ll be able to enjoy the wonderful antipasti, wine, pizza, and pasta offerings because it’s alsoPastaNight!

The presentation is complementary with the purchase of a pizza or pasta. If you would like to attend for the lecture only, there will be a $5 contribution. The presentation begins at 7 p.m., but the Club opens at 6p.m.ifyou’dliketocomeearlytounwind.PleasecontactMaryAnnWebster at culture@italianclubdallas.org with any questions.

Who could be more fascinating than Kirk Douglas? We’ve got our money on the real Spartacus!

two Mysteries surroundinG J. d. salinGer

Italian journalist Anna Guaita wrote this interesting article in a major Italian newspaper earlier this month.

When Jerome David Salinger died in 2010, he left stated in his will that none of his unpublished texts should be published for 50 years. Surprisingly, last summer the two authors of the expected documentary Salinger, Shane Salerno and David Shields, informed us instead that within two years we will begin to see some unpublished work of the authorof“TheCatcherintheRye”(1951).

A love story (the story of his first marriage to Sylvia Welter, a German hemetwhilehewasasoldierinGermany),anessayonhisHinduexperience, and biographical notes will come out between 2015 and 2020. But surprisingly, while the world was discussing the new books coming out, someone had put their hands on a pirated edition of three stories forgotten, presumably written in the forties and published in London in just 25 copies in 1999. This mysterious bibliophile ran the three stories through a scanner and put them on sale on eBay. The customer who bought them last September for $109 then loaded them on a file sharing site , “What.Cd”. From there they rebounded from site to site becoming public which is likely to make Salinger turn over in his grave. The first of three short stories, “The Ocean Full of Bowling Balls” is considered by far the best, while the other two, “Birthday Boy” and“Paula”,remainincomplete.Thefirststorydatesbackto1947.SalingerhadsubmittedittothemagazineHarper’sBazaarbutthenhad it retracted. No one has ever understood why, given that various scholars who have read the text had found it of excellent quality. Not only that, but the story is the antecedent of the facts of the most famous andbelovednovelbySalinger,“TheCatcherintheRye”,thatcanbeconnectedtotheyoungHolden.

princeton

AtypedversionofthisstoryispreservedinthelibraryofPrincetonUniversity, where it can be consulted only on strict conditions: you are required to file two documents, enter without a computer, phone or camera in a remote area, and then read it in the presence of an employee of the library. The other two probably date back to 1946, and may be a copy of two accounts of the same title held at the University of Texas in Austin that can also be consulted with the same restrictions.

Thebest-knownexpertonSalinger,ProfessorKennethSlawenskihasconfirmed to various U.S. media that the three texts that appeared online are really unpublished Salinger, faithful transcriptions of the original texts. So there are two mysteries: who took over those three short stories in 1999, and who put them on sale on eBay? These questions will likely remain unanswered. We only know that the person who put them on the public file sharing site has signed it as G. T. Binary (The binary system is the basis of the language of the computer).

by Anna Guaita

J.D. Salinger was an American writer who won acclaim early in life and ledaveryprivatelifeformorethanahalf-century.Hepublishedhisfinaloriginal work in 1965 and gave his last interview in 1980.

Salinger ( January 1, 1919 – January 27, 2010) died of natural causes at hishomeinCornish,NewHampshire.
